Using Stemmed Searches

Stemmed searches locate documents using the text search as a word stem (or root form) to locate documents with words containing the text.

Example

If you create a stemmed text search for run, your results could include

• run
• runs
• runner
• running

but not

• ran
• outrun
• brunette

When multiple terms are included in a text search (for example, test OR run AND first), stemming is applied to each term.

The Stemmed option box appears in the condition for the following selected fields:

Text Searching

• Metadata
• Multi Text
• Text

To create a stemmed search

• When Text Searching for Metadata, Multi Text, or Text, do one of the following:
• Select Stemmed to apply a stemmed search to the text you enter.
• Clear Stemmed to search for an exact match of the text you enter.
